Open an existing PAT file or create a new file in a text editor that saves in ASCII format (for example, Notepad on Windows® or TextEdit on Mac OS®).
Note: If you are creating a new PAT file, the PAT file and hatch pattern names must be identical.
Create a header line that begins with an asterisk and includes a pattern name that is no more than 31 characters in length.
For example, *ANSI31
Optionally, include a description for the hatch pattern by adding a comma and descriptive text after the pattern name.
For example, *ANSI31, ANSI Iron, Brick, Stone masonry
Create a descriptor line that includes
An angle at which the line is drawn
An X,Y origin point
A delta-x of 0
A delta-y of any value
For example, 45, 0,0, 0,.125
Add a blank line after the descriptor line.
Note: If the blank line is missing, the hatch pattern won't be recognized by the program.
